today's rant: weather, john mayer, being cheap, originally 7/21/06

it's that time of the month for mother nature.  today was freaken weird.  there was thunder & rain, then there was sun, then wind, then hail!  i'm expecting frogs and locusts any minute.

random thing i thought of today:  i was listening to john mayer songs at work today when my co-worker plugged her ipod into the computer.  i started to wonder what it would be like if meatwad from aqua teen hunger force wrote and sang the lyrics.  the line "one pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue" sounds kinda meatwad-ish.  i miss doug's impression of meatwad.  "don't hurt nathan!"

i learned some crucial keys to living life cheaply during my 4 years living at stony brook that i proudly still use.  for example, you only need to buy one bottle of water for an entire semester.  all you need is to keep refilling the bottle in the sink and put it in the fridge.  i don't care if the water tastes like chemistry set chemicals.  if it's cold, the taste goes away, which is what i want in water.  way better than paying $1.30/bottle.  next, cups, forks, knives, and spoons are free.  all you have to do is pick them up in the dining halls.  i call it shopping.  also, george foreman is a savior for late-night snacking.  fuck ron popeil and his showtime rotisserie.  speaking of late-night snaking, if you don't have anything important to do the next day, taco bell is the way to go.  you may regret the feeling the next morning, but who cares if $5 buys you a full-course dinner at TB?  on a related note, invest in pepto bismal (the pills, not the liquid) for all those TB binges.  nothing also signifies "cheap" and "college" like half-priced appetizers and 2-fer drinks at applebees.  these are the most valuable lessons that can be taken away from college.  you don't need a degree to teach you that.

hopefully mother nature will get over her rough week, that vicious bitch.
